Description
Planting augers can be hand-held motorized tools or larger implements attached to other pieces of equipment. Augers are power-driven tools designed to penetrate and make holes in rocky soils for plant seedlings.
Vehicle Mounted Hydraulic Augers are capable of rapid mechanical planting of seedlings. This type of auger produces larger holes which require some hand soil replacement.
